DIALOGUE MARKETING

Dialogue marketing is an efficient strategy for winning, retaining, developing and reactivating customers: It builds an interactive relationship with the customer through personalized content. Creating and distributing this content can present challenges related to logistics and production. Digital infrastructure like one2edit™ gives you the power to make sure you’re using the communications channels and instruments that best fit your brand, while also generating more leads and responses – and ensuring a consistent brand identity.

CHALLENGE

Dialogue marketing is one of the most efficient strategies for lead generation and qualification – and has an instant impact on business development. Whether you’re aiming to gather more comments and likes on Facebook or more calls to your service center after customers read your mail: Personalized content and offers improve your interaction with (potential) customers.

However, dialogue marketing methods like email marketing, campaign management or mobile and social CRM are frequently implemented in ways that are less efficient and targeted that they would be if they were supported by customized and intelligent digital infrastructure. Brand consistency also presents some challenges: The difference between opening your email or placing it in the trash can be just a few seconds. First impressions are everything.

RELEVANT FUNCTIONS AND MODULES

Files within the BRANDGUARDIAN® CoFS aren’t constantly copied from A to B and back again – unlike the synchronization processes from well-known cloud providers. CoFS offers a real-time approach that all users can access just like a shared hard-drive on a common network. This means everybody can immediately see when a file is changed or a new file is added. This is a stark contrast to conventional systems that require users to wait for synchronization to be completed.

All saved files can be protected using AES 256-bit encryption that provides the maximum level of security when your files are transported from one saved location to another. Files are automatically encrypted if you choose to store them in cloud storage solutions like Amazon Web Service or Microsoft Azure.

CoFS makes transferring files easier and simpler than ever. It can be integrated into file systems from Windows and macOS seamlessly so your employees and partners can carry on working in the same way they always have – but better.

one2edit™ offers an integrated translation memory that can support the localization of media by performing pre-translations automatically. It’s also possible to create a smooth connection between the translation memory and existing translation systems like SDL|Trados, MemoQ or Across. You have the freedom to define workflows that include using machine translation through Google or Microsoft Services – and you can also involve human translators in the process.

The possibilities for creating efficient and smooth processes for localization using one2edit™ are almost unlimited. You can set your own rules for segmentation or use preconfigured standards for common systems.And you can decide whether the integrated spelling and grammar correction system uses an existing dictionary or works with your own dictionary.

The WYSIWYG preview gives you the right context for translations while also showing whether the translated text fits into the layout. If space gets tight, one2edit™ offers you alternatives that can help save room – from font sizes through to character and line spacing, and many others.

With one2edit™, you can start the localization process before the document design has been finalized. Design developments and changes to the master document can be integrated into all language versions simply and easily. The dynamic connection between the master layout and the versions for different countries or languages makes it possible to save a significant amount of time compared to conventional approaches.

The one2edit™ brand design framework can be set up with just a few clicks. You can generate templates that reflect your choices about which formatting options to make available for your users. Each user can then choose from your library of templates based on their access rights. It’s also easy to create self-service functions for actions like setting the font size or character spacing – using slider controls that are configured in line with your preferences for the minimum and maximum values.

You can also make additional design options available for any users who need them. one2edit™ features all of the InDesign formatting options for text and images. You decide what makes sense and what’s allowed. You can set company-wide standards and define any exceptions with fully-individualized design rules whenever necessary.

Once you’ve saved your brand design rules, you can reuse them and assign them to projects easily using the drag and drop function. Any changes to saved rules will automatically be applied to any templates that use this rule. Design rules can be applied to an entire document or to individual elements of a document. This granular management of rules opens up the maximum amount of flexibility and ensures compliance with your corporate design guidelines – with a minimum amount of effort.

one2edit™ follows a consistent, best-of-breed approach that gives you the power to connect one2edit™ with as many other systems as necessary. Choose the best solution, continue using your existing systems and achieve end-to-end processes along the entire content management value chain – from supply through to distribution.

one2edit™ offers a comprehensive and powerful RESTful server API (programming interface) as well as a JavaScript Client API for interactions with programs on workplace computers or special adaptations of the one2edit™ user interface.

Alongside these two programming interfaces, you can also access a variety of standard interfaces for a seamless and deep integration with leading systems.

Using our File Client creates a seamless and user-friendly connection with the desktop workspaces of creative teams. This enables them to open, edit and save InDesign files with a simple double-click, just like they can on a local hard drive – without any need for uploading or downloading.

Standard Single-Sign-On (SSO) processes are available to support the integration ofportal solutions like brand management portals, marketing platforms or intranet channels. Simply connect your company directory via LDAP. one2edit™ takes on your groups, roles and user rights – and then allocates the specific attributes of one2edit™ that are necessary for efficient collaboration, even in complex organizational structures.

The integrated one2edit™ workflow engine can be used to create editing, feedback and approval processes quickly and simply using the drag and drop function. There’s no limit to the number of process steps or participants involved. You can set up automatic notifications to be sent when a process step is completed, activate interactions with other systems via web-services and follow the progress in the project overview.

User rights can be based on roles and job assignments – and can be adapted for each individual project. External and internal users worldwide are able to work together through their browser. Each user has a personalized list of tasks, while the project manager can follow all activities in the project overview. This makes localization and adaptation of communications materials an efficient and transparent process.

There’s no need to create complicated workflows or business process notations, and no need for programming skills or training activities. Our workflow engine is built to meet real-world needs and makes it possible to create processes quickly – and adapt them just as fast if necessary. Workflows enable you to automate processes by offering a wide range of export functions and possibilities to communicate with other systems. You can also save workflows and reuse them as templates. This gives you the power to standardize your processes using the one2edit™ workflow engine without having to give up your agility.

Any pre-defined texts, images or layout elements that have already been approved can be put into one2edit™ documents as snippets. You can create entire libraries of formatted content for your users to draw on when personalizing documents. In this way, you make it possible to generate a better variety of communications materials – which increases its impact – without worrying about your brand design.

Of course, you can also use these functions to automate the personalization of communications materials via the one2edit™ programming interface (API). A Marketing Automation System (MAS) can then steer one2edit within various parameters depending on existing data. By defining rules within one2edit, you can make it possible to create highly personalized documents through a fully automated process – and make your content significantly more appealing for your target groups.
